👉 Split & Merge Files

You can use Kami to merge multiple files together or to remove pages from a single file. You have two options:

Option #1: Pick and choose the pages to include in your merged file

- Perhaps you purchased something from 'Teacher Pay Teachers' but don't want to send students the answer sheet at the end of the file. Kami can remove the pages for you.
- Click here for directions

Option #2: Want to merge all files / all pages into a single file?

- - - Use this if you want to merge multiple files together into a single PDF without extracting any pages.
    - Click here for directions

👉 Screen Capture Tool

Need to demonstrate a process or talk through a concept on your screen? With Kami's Screen Capture tool, you can film your on-screen actions, add an audio recording, and pop it all into an easily accessible comment.
